Natural History of Carotid Plaque as Determined by 3D Ultrasound

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Atherosclerotic Disease, Plaque, Atherosclerotic, Heart Diseases, Stroke, Cardiovascular Risk Factor

In brief

This proposed follow-up study aims to recruit participants from the original BioImage cohort for a one-time follow-up examination. The repeat ultrasound scan of the carotid arteries will provide information on the natural history of carotid atherosclerosis and factors that contribute to plaque progression. Renewal of the HIPAA authorization will also be sought for 5 years to continue to monitor claims and other information for major cardiovascular events, other outcomes and healthcare utilization.
